Custom Volume Profile

Description

Follow my cTrader Telegram group at https://t.me/cTraderCommunity; it's a new community but it will grow fast, plus everyone can talk about cTrader indicators and algorithm without restrictions, though it is not allowed to spam commercial indicators to sell them. There's also a Discord Server now @ https://discord.gg/5GAPMtp

This is my version of the Volume Profile Indicator, it just divides the chart into segment and aggregates tick volume; STILL, a very powerful indicator.

Instructions:

-CTRL + Click to set initial pivot (End of the range to analyze)

-Shift + Click to set range (Start of the range to analyze, must be to the left of the initial pivot)

-Shift + Click on the right of the initial pivot to adjust histogram length

UPDATE: added parameters to show a guide and possibility to set max and min prices with Shift + Alt + click and Shift + Ctrl + Click
